EOL policy
Please note that beginning with Search Guard v14, our EOL policy takes effect. This closely resembles the EOL policy of Elasticsearch. If you’re running an ES version that has reached EOL already or will reach it soon, please upgrade to a supported version soon.
Thanks for your support and input!
Have fun,
Jochen and the Search Guard team
